BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a power supply for a drive runner and a power supply device for the drive runner used for moving a panel such as a partition panel.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a large space such as a wedding hall is divided into small spaces S1 and S2 according to the number of employees and the like by, for example, a partition panel 71 shown in FIG. On the ceiling of the wedding hall, a main rail 72 extending in a direction orthogonal to the wall surface H inside the wedding hall is provided. The main rail 72 is provided with first and second corner portions 73 and 74, and the first and second corner portions 73 and 74 are provided.
From 74, first and second branch rails 75 and 76 extend in parallel into the storage 77 of the partition panel 71. The partition panel 71 is suspended and supported by a pair of drive runners 78, 79 having an electric motor (not shown). The distance between the two drive runners 78, 79 is greater than the distance between the first and second corner portions 73, 74. Is also getting bigger. The two drive runners 78 and 79 are connected to the main rail 7.
The vehicle can travel along the first, first and second branch rails 75 and 76.

On the upper surfaces of the drive runners 78 and 79, a current collector (not shown) projecting upward is provided. The current collector is provided by the main rail 71 and the first and second branch rails 7.
5, 76 are engaged with trolley wires (not shown) provided along. The trolley wire supplies power to the electric motors of the drive runners 78 and 79 via current collectors. The trolley wire is not wired to the first and second corner portions 73 and 74. Therefore, the drive runners 78 and 79 can turn at the first and second corner portions 73 and 74 without interfering with the trolley wire, and the turning can change the traveling direction.

In order to store each partition panel 71 which partitions the wedding hall into small spaces S1 and S2 in a storage box 77, drive runners 78 and 79 on which the partition panels 71 are suspended are moved along the main rail 72. The partition panels 71 are sequentially moved toward the first and second corner portions 73 and 74. When the drive runner 79 is located at the second corner portion 74, power is supplied from the trolley wire of the main rail 72 to the electric motor of the drive runner 79 via the drive runner 78. By this power supply, the drive runner 79 turns, and the drive runner 7
9 is changed so as to correspond to the second branch rail 76. Furthermore, the drive runner 79
Travels along the second branch rail 76 from the second corner 74 to the storage 77.

The driving runner 78 is located at the first corner 73 by being pulled by the driving runner 79 traveling toward the storage 77. Then, the second branch rail 7
Power is supplied from the trolley wire 6 to the electric motor of the drive runner 78 via the drive runner 79. With this power supply, the drive runner 78 turns, and the traveling direction of the drive runner 78 is changed so as to correspond to the first branch rail 75. Further, the drive runner 78 travels from the first corner 73 to the storage 77 along the first branch rail 75 by the power supply. First and second branch rails 75, 7
Since the distance between the drive runners 6 is smaller than the distance between the drive runners 78 and 79, the partition panel 71 is stored in the storage 77 in a state of being inclined with respect to the first and second branch rails 75 and 76.

In the above configuration, the drive runners 78, 79 are not simultaneously located in the first and second corner portions 73, 74. Therefore, even if the trolley wire is not wired to the first and second corner portions 73 and 74, the driving runners 78 and 7 located at the first and second corner portions 73 and 74 are provided.
9 can be powered.

[0007]

However, in the above configuration, since the trolley wire is not wired to the first and second corner portions 73 and 74, the first and second corner portions 73 and 74 are not provided.
At 74, power cannot be supplied to the drive runners 78, 79. Therefore, both drive runners 78 and 79 are simultaneously driven by the first
The distance between the first and second corner portions 73 and 74 is made smaller than the distance between the two drive runners 78 and 79 so as not to be located at the second corner portions 73 and 74. As a result, the distance between the first and second branch rails 75 and 76 becomes smaller than the distance between the two drive runners 78 and 79, so that the partition panel 71 is connected to the first and second branch rails 7.
5, 76 must be stored in the storage 77 in a state of being inclined with respect to 5, 76, and there is a problem that the storage 77 becomes large.
